These are the times that you wished that you lived around the corner rather than so many miles away.

Hope you manage to talk to her and let her know how you are feeling.

Thanks Rosemary.

I have just spoken to mum to wish her a happy birthday. Its when she says I love you before we put the phones down that really cuts me up. The family are having a get together on Saturday so I am now busy looking at flights to see if I can make it.

Oh definately a surprise (it will be a BIG surprise when she sees how much weight I have put on lol). Cheapest I can get is 249 euros at the moment, but I think it will be worth it.

Money is unimportant when it comes to feelings - go for it.

Enjoy yourself.

Bad time of the year to fly .... however I am guessing that it will be the best 249 euros you have spent so far this year .... go for it, and wish her a happy birthday from us all :D
